We gathered at the agreed meeting place near to Thirlmere a<br \/>\nlittle later than planned, possibly because our Polish and Czech friends were<br \/>\nenjoying their first visit to the Lake District and letting photo opportunities<br \/>\nget in the way of forward progress.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No damage done, we set off for Stick&#39;s Pass on a mild and<br \/>\nsunny morning with pleasant walking.&nbsp;<br \/>\nAfter more photos we slowly climbed and eventually turned into the mist<br \/>\nfor Raise, Whiteside, Lower Man and eventually Helvellyn.&nbsp; As time was getting on Colin and Anna<br \/>\ndescended Striding Edge (Anna&#39;s number-one target) while the others descended<br \/>\nSwirrel Edge before going on to Catsyecam.&nbsp;<br \/>\nLower down we all re-connected before walking on to Helvellyn Youth<br \/>\nHostel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The hostel was fine and it was a bit of an innovation for me<br \/>\nto have my hostel meal served to the table by the staff rather than have large<br \/>\namounts of mashed potato scooped onto the plate at a serving hatch.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Later, whilst watching TV in the common room, we learned with<br \/>\ninterest that in Poland &lsquo;Fawlty Towers&#39; is known as &lsquo;Nice Hotel&#39; and one of<br \/>\ntheir most popular TV programmes is &lsquo;Poland Has Talent&#39;.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the morning we organised our own breakfast, there being<br \/>\nmore than just a passing interest in the impressive stuff that Szymon and his<br \/>\nfriends were consuming.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leaving the hostel we again made for Stick&#39;s Pass on a much<br \/>\nbreezier morning.&nbsp; Higher up, Keith,<br \/>\nMichele and Anna took in Sheffield Pike before catching us up at the pass where<br \/>\nit was quite cold and blustery.&nbsp; Lower<br \/>\ndown the walking was quite pleasant as we stopped for a break in the<br \/>\nsunshine.&nbsp; Again interesting Polish food<br \/>\ncame out of rucksacks with the sausage being passed around and going down very<br \/>\nwell.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Back at the cars all was in order.&nbsp; Thanks to the drivers.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A splendid weekend.\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<strong>Climbing Instruction<br \/>\n&#8211;

There were due to be more of us but circumstances conspired to<br \/>\nkeep others away.&nbsp; On the plus side,<br \/>\nthose of us who could attend got more attention as a consequence.&nbsp; On our day it was windy and cold so we were<br \/>\ndirected to Yarncliffe Quarry rather than the original destination of Stanage<br \/>\nEdge.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Deborah was very organised and reassuring and I would<br \/>\ncertainly consider engaging her for any future activity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;We did Centipede (VD),<br \/>\nCorner Crack (D), Ant&#39;s Crack (S), Ant&#39;s Wall (HS 4a) and Ant&#39;s Arete (HS 4a).&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A short<br \/>\nbreak at the Niu d&#39;Aliga shelter then along the ridge and a big descend into<br \/>\nthe Moixero Meadow, calling in for a cup of tea at the Serrat de les Esposes<br \/>\nshelter before making our way on to the Refuge at Cortals de l&#39;Ingla. We were<br \/>\ntreated to the most spectacular mountain scenery throughout the day, and on the<br \/>\nwild life side managed to see lots of alpine flowers, a few eagles and wild<br \/>\nhorses.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<u>Day&#39;s total<\/u>: 22.6 km with 1,600m ascent<br \/>\nand 1,590 m descent.&nbsp; Total walking time:<br \/>\n8 hrs 25 mins (excluding breaks).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Day<br \/>\nthree<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCortals de l&#39;Ingla Shelter to Gresolet Shelter (1,280m), again<br \/>\nwalking through spectacular mountain scenery, alpine meadows, pine forests and<br \/>\nmountain scree. The route is very rocky in places as we pass through the<br \/>\nGrosolans mountain pass (2,430m), crossing from the Moixero Massif into the<br \/>\nCadi Massif. Great views of eagles, and Les managed to spot a couple of<br \/>\nchamois. The last 3.3 km of the route involve 570m of descent which was very<br \/>\nsevere in places.&nbsp; I found this rather<br \/>\nchallenging to say the least, but we all made it without incident.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<u>Stats for the day<\/u>: Distance 24.6 km with<br \/>\n1,560 m ascent and 1,842m descent.&nbsp; Total<br \/>\nwalking time: 10 hrs 45 mins (excluding breaks).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>When we got there&#8230;<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8230; the shelter was bare.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To this point all had<br \/>\ngone to plan, but when we arrived at the Gresolet shelter we found it deserted.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The dormitory was open<br \/>\nbut no signs of the warden. We sat and waited for a while and then discussed<br \/>\nour options. No one fancied the difficult 3.3 km climb back up to the last<br \/>\nshelter we had passed.&nbsp; We did have a<br \/>\nfew bits of food between us, crisps and the like, and we did have access to the<br \/>\ndormitory so, at a push, we could stay but would have no food for the following<br \/>\nday. Unlike all the other shelters there was another building a little way up<br \/>\nthe hill and Keith and Les went to investigate. Our luck was in as it turned<br \/>\nout to be another refuge. This one was built in the 1800s and was an<br \/>\nextraordinary building,\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\n<em>(continued)<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nattached to a church and little changed since the time of<br \/>\nconstruction. Although it was not officially open, the owner &#8211; a lovely lady<br \/>\ncalled &quot;Esperanto&quot; &#8211; very kindly took us in, cooked us a meal and provided us<br \/>\nwith a bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, she only spoke Catalonian, which made<br \/>\nconversation a bit difficult.&nbsp; However<br \/>\nwith Keith&#39;s Spanish and a bit of sign language we got by.&nbsp; Keith was all for torching the other shelter<br \/>\n<em>(Way to go, Keith! &#8211; Ed.) <\/em>and we<br \/>\nbarely restrained him from heaping all kinds of ills on the warden, who had<br \/>\nreturned by the time we left in the morning.

We located where we were on the map but still had a<br \/>\nlot of difficulty finding our way through the forest to where we should have<br \/>\nbeen. This cost us about three hours. We eventually found the right route and<br \/>\ncontinued to descend into Cal Cerdanyola (910m), the lowest point on the<br \/>\ncircuit. The route from here starts to climb, with lots of stream crossings,<br \/>\nscrambling over large boulders and fairly steep and rough terrain. This was<br \/>\nprobably the most strenuous but exciting part of the circuit and when we<br \/>\neventually arrived at the Sant Jordi shelter we were all exhausted. We had<br \/>\nplanned to carry on to the Rebost shelter a further 11 km away but at<br \/>\n17.30&nbsp; it was too late to start out and<br \/>\nstill make it in time for dinner at 20.00 hrs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<u>Day&#39;s stats<\/u>: Difficult to work out<br \/>\nexactly but in the region of 20-24 km. 1,040m ascent, 780m descent.

The refuges provide a very<br \/>\ngood evening meal, bed in a large dormitory, breakfast and basic washing and showering<br \/>\nfacilities. Like all places, some are better than others. Most sell drinks and<br \/>\nsnacks. It was late in the season so we had most of the refuges to ourselves.<br \/>\nThe weather was hot and sunny throughout with temperatures in the high twenties<br \/>\nand early thirties.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Marks out of 10&#8230;<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI think that this has been one of the best club trips so far.
